Though ebook reader purists would correctly argue that the prototype Microsoft Courier is not an ereader in and of itself there is no mistaking that this device will compete head on with ereaders in the coming year and that’s why we’re featuring it here at ereaderuniverse.
First I should say that there is not definitive launch date or price for this device but from what I can gather from the video below and other sources around the net this thing is going to be a complete gamechanger.
Even though I am a huge Apple fan I’m excited to see something innovative coming from Microsoft and unlike a traditional tablet we’ve all seen in some version or another this device truly stands on it’s own Unlike the mythical ipad/tablet or the recently troubled Crunchpad the MS Courier has two screens instead of one and they work seamlessly together to create on amazing user experience. The functionality as displayed in the video is incredible and the long term uses of such a device are truly staggering. We could truly be seeing the beginning of the end for textbooks, magazines, books, traditional planners, laptops, paper you name it.
I still believe that the internet allows niches to develope and thrive independent of the “leader” so I don’t think this will be a “Kindle killer” or sony killer or anything else because many people want an ereader not a life management device. those however who want an ereader but would also love it to come coupled with so much more are going to love this thing.
